Fat Innkeeper Worm
Urechis caupo

The Fat Innkeeper Worm has a U-shaped burrow in sandy mud of wetlands and shores. An arrow goby, pea crabs and scale worms often share the burrow, as guests of the "Inn" (hotel). The Innkeeper stays in its burrow rather than going out looking for food. At one end of the burrow, it uses slime to build a net, then waits for plankton and other bits of food to fall into it. Sea otters, birds and rays eat Fat Innkeepers. Leopard sharks just slurp them right out of their burrows.
